Ain’t that the truth . In that time I built an entire (expletive deleted)ing house .

You’re back ! Knew you would ! I’ve tried to match your level of expertise and knowledge in your absence. Think I did ok 👍

For the record - I didn’t do this .

I’ve no hub . So you connect it say to your iPhone I.e HomeKit . Then run a HomeKit integration on home assistant . Then remove from HomeKit on your iPhone and it magics across to HA . You could get their hub - but it just seems extra unnecessary cost if you are already running home assistant ( though it might expose more entities as its official )

Everywhere . I am everywhere all the time , watching everything , always .

I use with home assistant as that is easily the best HA . As they are HomeKit have to be added via that and then ‘frigged’ across to assistant . Best zone sensor I’ve found ; but do get ghosting . My esp1 will now replace the fp2 in the lounge ( zoning isn’t required there ) . Was going to put it on eBay . But if you want it for a song let me know asap .

Yeah it ain’t pretty compared to fp2 . But functionality over form ! Remember no zoning with eps1 …

Better solution . But killing people is frowned upon .

True . He gets Velma ( I aways thought she was called Thelma - so I’m a bit gutted now )

And scooby gets to do Daphne

A write up would be great . I’ve no issue going back to previous technologies/ attempts . In bedrooms / bathrooms basic pir are more than sufficient for me . I really want fast facial recognition processed locally ; shouldn’t be too long for that to come along . I know there are addons to frigate for this - but not good enough yet …

Yeah frigate . I was using it open plan to detect people in/out zones . On a staircase I imagine it would be pretty much spot on . Open plan though where a shirt left draped over a seat ( or even the seat can be sometimes potentially a human ) . Also found it relatively slow I.e needs x frames to determine probability of a human . mmWave seems to be so far ( after much calibration and testing ) perfect ( until SWMBO is sat in the dark of course ) . Also with cameras swmbo and friends think I’m spying on them , which I am .

Tried that . With human sensing ( tpu etc ) got way too many false positives . Fine for outside I.e someone passing by but found to be too unreliable inside .

I deliberately placed mine away from the house but 1 metre away from a stone wall. When it's real cold and it kicks in ( to defrost maybe ) it can be surprisingly noisy.

@Thorfun is a pro ‘cause he got gloves on - ✊

And you’s

Yes boss ! I’ll order that and some conventional insulation for the 21mm. Yous still me bitch

@Russell griffiths this do you ?

I couldn’t find any at a sensible price . What’s wrong with down pipe ?

This packed with insulation ? kind of what I said ; pipe within insulated pipe

You’s me bitch for sure bro

Some things are just TOO difficult. Easy to detect a moving person , stationary is another matter ! ( no pun intended) . Aqara fp2 is the best I have found , but some ghosting ; I’m in the kitchen with apparently another person . I leave kitchen and ghostie doesn’t . So as usual I’ve tried every sensor I can find . But ! I think I’ve found the perfect one ( at the moment ) The everything presence 1 . Ultimate test ! Sat on sofa watching projector no one moving ….. still detects presence ! Awesome ! As I’m open plan it’s fine for the lounge because it’s at the back of the house . So no zoning etc required . Kitchen and diner need zones otherwise you’ll be able to trigger one from the neighboring zone . So 2 presence sensors lite on the way . No pir , but zoning . Will test against fp 2 . But as most of you aren’t open plan - esp1 is the best ! https://everythingsmarthome.co.uk

This looks good ! Could live with black at this price !

Yeah - worth a look

OD of my pipe is 23mm ; that fit in there ( it states 19mm )? What do I do where it goes 90 ? . Just cut 45 in vertical and short horizontal? Marry them up .
